I really like Jackalopes at the moment, so I decided to make a flower crown with felt rabbit ears and branches to look like antlers for Beltane.

    Pinching the triangle at the bottom, fold either side backwards to create an ear shape.

    Stitch at the bottom.

  6. 6

    Make two cute ears.

  7. 7

    Trim your branches to the right size for antlers.

    Tightly wrap some white ribbon around your headband. Starting at one end, folding, glueing and winding up towards the middle.

    Glue your first ear in place and secure onto your headband by wrapping the ribbon around the bottom of the ear.

  10. 10

    Glue and tightly wrap a branch in place for your first antler.

    Continue your way around the headband until your reach the other end.
